Hey wolframbane,
I was wondering if you still have that link to the timeline you were working on. I'm not sure if it made it to the archives yet, but it was quite a valuble tool. I linked to the post instead of the link. Any help would be appreciated, thanks, Jason.

Sure thing Jason. The original link unfortunately went the way of Geocities, so I reposted it for you. I am still working on filling the timeline out with more details, and I will post an update when its ready.

I have completed a rough estimate for the passage of time of my 14 Year Timeline thus far. It covers up to about Year 1 to 6, and the early part of Year 7 (to around ASM #243) with Peter Parker completing his first year of post graduate studies. Most of the Christmas issues that occur during that time are accounted for, but some need to be considered topical. Thanks to Paul Bourcier for the notes he provided!!

But, just to say... isn't it meaningless to try to establish how many years have passed since the origin of the Fantastic Four? Marvel Comics is changing a lot about its own past (and that is a crime, from my point of view ) and also shifting its early years forward to the 90s or so... For example, the NEW origin of Iron Man are no more settled in the communist Asia (like in Tales of Suspense #39).
